The top three are course and distance winners but Polar Bear's success was on heavy ground and he finished last on good going when last seen in May. Mythical Phoenix started off over a mile but dropped to this trip when a convincing maiden winner last month though runner-up DOUBLE JABBED has a 9lb pull which should be enough to turn the tables. Different Look, who finished fourth, comes out easily the best at the weights but finished last at Naas on Sunday. Hot Whispers gained her first success in 19 starts at the Curragh ten days ago when the favourite Shoebox King was beaten almost five lengths
